Top Tips to Keep Your Skin Hydrated After Swimming

Chlorinated water opens pores and depletes oils, leaving your skin tight, dry, and flaky. Here’s how to preserve hydration after your swim:

  • Avoid hot showers — they compound dryness. Opt for lukewarm rinses, not just colder ones 

  • Hydrate immediately after shower while skin is damp. Use Clean Swim’s Ceramide Lotion, packed with ceramides, Pentavitin, botanicals to lock in moisture and repair the barrier.

  • Moisturise twice a day if extra dry top skin professionals recommend extending care from face to toe

  • Soothing soak: oatmeal baths reduce irritation, balance pH, and comfort dry skin 

  • Pre‑swim barrier protection: applying a light oil or lotion before swimming can lessen chlorine’s impact, as suggested by Dermstore dermatologists
